The Summer Groove
Destination Fashion and Art for Life Miami Beach
One of the biggest highlights of every summer has been Zo’s Summer Groove – a series of events that bring the South Florida community together to raise funds for the Alonzo Mourning Charities. Last year, Mourning brought Dwyane Wade, and his Wade’s World foundation, onboard and began the process of grooming the all star talent to become a leader in the community and one day run the event. This year, another step was taken to combine the strength of these two superstars by re-branding “Zo’s Summer Groove” into “The Summer Groove – Hosted by Zo and D. Wade.”

Passionate Design
Erik Don, owner of D&G Art and Design Gallery in Wynwood is very excited about both the Flow and Bowler lines.
“These lines are fantastic. We found them both at the show in the Milan and knew that they would be perfect for the Miami market, which appreciates sleek and modern designs that bold and artistic in nature. I’ve found that many discerning designers have found Flow and Bowler to be perfect for their clients.”
